Free Single Bed Frame

I live on Grove Park Road and I have a single bed frame, with a sliding single bed that goes underneath it, (and two mattresses though these would be difficult to disinfect ie covid 19). Ordinarily I would donate this but in these times obviously that is not possible. I would love for it to go to someone in need, so if anyone knows of any organisations who could help with this or someone who may need a bed please contact me.

Noisy restaurant fridge motor, running all night

Hi all,Since 4 weeks I have been fighting with the council and Rendezvous Restaurant to get the latter to stop running a fridge motor outside all night. My wife is pregnant and finds it, as it is, difficult to fall asleep, but with that noise is close to impossible. We have been in touch with Councillor Joanna Biddolph (super nice lady) and Councillor John Todd (also, very kindly came to witness the noise himself within one hour after I contacted him). Both recognise that it is a problem and are trying to help. If things don't improve soon, I am planning to take legal action against both, the council and Rendezvous, but I am finding it difficult to source the planning application that has allowed Rendezvous to place that fridge machine outside without sound isolation. I suspect it has been put there illegally as some applications which I have found for that site (looking online at the planning website) specifically mention provisions to stop any noisy equipment or anything adding to the normal background noise.I have emailed the planning committee last week. The info on their website says they would respond within 10 working days. Have any of you had any experience with this?Also, the environmental pollution team are useless.

The Hounslow Council Conservative group

The Hounslow Council Conservative group has welcomed the Prime Minister’s announcement of additional funds to promote walking and cycling as we all adapt to living with COVID-19.  Following the government’s announcement, the group has issued its own policy statement on walking and cycling (text below) which sets out the principles they think should be applied nationally and locally.https://www.brentfordandisleworthconservatives.org.uk/news/hounslow-conservative-councillors-welcome-new-government-policy-walking-cycling

Chiswick house being trashed

So, I don’t want to sound like a moaner BUT am I the only one who has noticed our beloved Chiswick house being completely obliterated of late?Sure I understand that people are going mad cooped up indoors, however the sudden influx of “outsiders” to the house is ruining the grounds. The bins are overflowing every day and night, there are wine bottles being left strewn all over the grass which also leads to a lot of broken glass about the place. Dogs are running riot in the water and disturbing the birds (I too have a dog so don’t think I’m against dogs!) and the grass is all but gone in the main areas because it’s dry and trodden to a crisp. It seems like someone has posted a blog to a million people recently to come on down to this secret beauty spot and ruin it for everyone else. If only there was a way of preserving it for locals only.

MOTHS - prevention and treatment

Some while ago someone was asking how to get rid of an infestation of moth in their house.   By chance I was clearing out some old files and I found this which might be of help:-http://mothshield.com/Interesting site as it also gives you the rather lengthy life-cycle of moths once they establish a foothold in your home.   No idea if this Mothshield  system works or not.  Has anyone on here tried it?

Fuller's Boss Says Pubs Can't Operate With Two Metre Distancing

Pubs and restaurants exist only to bring the public together and keep them close together: certainly closer than 2m apart and for more than 15 minutes and in confined spaces particularly in winter. They are certainly much too dangerous now for anyone over the age of 60 or overweight or with diabetes and/or a lot of other medical conditions. It is the same problem for the airlines and all public transport. I can't see any opportunity to re-open these types of businesses until either a medicine or a vaccine becomes available. In addition the UK has now introduced quarantine for 2 weeks for all overseas visitors (with fines for breaking it), so there will be few foreigners coming to London. I honestly think that it will be up to a year before people forget the fear of catching this very infectious virus. Pubs are the last places that will be given permission to re-open and rightly so.

Run over by a bicycle

My daughter was running and was  - run down from behind by a bicycle  - and I mean to the ground with scratches and bruises. He just took off - more of a hit and run.   She Is traumatized and in pain. He wore blue reflective sunglasses and a grey helmet - mid twenties white and rude.  Bedford Rd & Marlborough Crescent. We filed a police report.

Prepare for a spike?

Crowded along the Thames river wall at Barnes and Mortlake yesterday evening. Most drinking pints. Pubs serving take away drinks? Not much sign of social distancing.

Recommendation for someone to install new garden gate

My old garden gate has come unstuck (rotten posts etc), and I need a new one. It's set at an angle so a little harder than it sounds.Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Traffic restrictions for Turnham Green Terr & Devonshire Road

I am guessing Hounslow Council want to kill off the small shops.  The idea of nipping down to the butchers, greengrocers & deli for a weekly shop will be rendered impossible for many.  Lea & Sandermans on Devonshire Road/CHR corner might as well close now because you can virtually never get parked other than on Devonshire Road.This sort of idea has been tried many times by many councils around the country over the years.  Every time it kills the high street. But of course Hounslow Council could not give a monkeys about the blue enclave of Chiswick, they probably regard killing small shops as a badge of honour

Can anyone please recommend a rubbish removal company who will clear general household items including a double mattress and take it all away?
